About this module

Incident response follows a standard lifecycle — preparation, detection & analysis, containment, eradication & recovery, and post-incident review — but OT incident response adds a constraint IT playbooks don't usually face: you may not be able to simply isolate or power down an affected system without triggering a safety or production event. This module covers building a playbook for a specific incident type, the OT-specific decision tree for containment-vs-continued-operation, and why post-incident lessons-learned reviews matter as much as the response itself.

By the end of this module you should be able to draft a basic incident response playbook and identify its OT-specific containment tradeoffs — the exact deliverable Module 14's enterprise incident response plan project builds out in full.
